Animated gifs

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
I had never used or even thought of using animated gifs in my blog until I saw many of them in Libardo´s blog. They really bring life to postings. I got this one from photobucket.com. What you have to do is go a site like photobucket, type animated gifs, then click on the gif you like with the left button of your mouse and once you see it bigger, look for the HTML code to the right, copy the code to your posting and VOILÁ, you have a moving picture.

ESL video

Another discovery by Larry Ferlazzo. This site not only offers video with quizzes at various levels, but also gives you the chance to download the video you want and create a quiz yourself.
Isn´t it superb?

MAKING FACES


It is an excellent game to teach vocabulary related to feelings and emotions. You’re given the word for a particular emotion and then have to create a face accurately demonstrating it.
